My Kenmore dishwasher is about 8yrs old and all of a sudden it doesn't seem to do the wash cycle. It fills, makes some noise and then drains out. It had been cleaning poorly for a while prior to this. I am probably going to take it apart, just hoping for some idea on what to look for.
My dishwasher is 15 years old and still does a great job. Do you have hard water? If so, do you have a water softener? I've never taken apart a Kenmore washer,but I assume it has a bottom and top arm that sprays. I periodically take mine off of the dishwasher to check to make sure the holes are able to spray. I would do some troubleshooting online if you don't have anything in your users manual telling you what to do. ( Ask.com ) Type troubleshoot dishwasher not washing the dishes. Don't trash it until you know it can't be repaired for far less than a new one.
